Hey Dave,
Maybe it’s just me and my post-LSAT-ness, but I can’t get this one to work out. For instance, for the first question, I have as the first rule L-J and F-J, but none of the answers fit. It might work out however, if I reverse the first to last ordering…which has struck me right now…while I’m writing this…one sec…
Arrgh! Nope – it’s my fault. The first rule should have placed J BEFORE, and not after, L and F. So frustrating. Sorry for the typo!
I finally remembered to come back to this. Here we go now: E, D, C, D, D, E
Too many D for Daves, or is it, too few D for Daves?
